Deceased Grandfather
Authority, a moral compass, and the transmission of experience through generations.
Dream interpretation
The grandfather in dreams embodies structure, law, and life logic. His appearance is often a sign that you need advice regarding an important practical decision. If the grandfather hands you something, it is a symbolic passing of strength or an inheritance of qualities. In a Jungian sense, this is the archetype of the Wise Old Man. Dreaming of a deceased grandfather may mean it is time to take more responsibility for your path and act with integrity.
